Official Introduction + Henna Results!

[EmpressVirgo]

Hi LHCF Ladies,

I have finally decided to introduce myself after a long career of lurking. At first, I had only come to this site when a google search about hair would bring me here. It seems that everything I search for is right here! I love all things pertaining to beauty- Hair, Nails & Skin!

Thanks to all of you ladies for posting your advice and product reviews!

Here is my first contribution:

I wanted to try Henna and so I made an impulsive trip to Lush and bought the Caca Rouge Mama. My hair is naturally very dark brownish black and I had previously highligted my hair with a semi permanent color in random spots. The henna gave me a gorgeous red tint with gorgeous highlights!

I used plain water and followed the directions, and applied the henna to dry hair. I kept it in overnight, about 10 hrs total, and when I rinsed I noticed immediately that my hair was smoother and definitely looser! I was actually able to comb my hair under running water with NO conditioner! Something I was never able to do before!
I love the results! I have attached photos of my hair right after rinsing the henna out and also after flat ironing.

Beautiful hair! I was in Lush this week and I looked at their henna. I'm glad I didn't buy it because I wouldn't want the loosening but I really love the color.

EmpressVirgo I'm behind what is Caca Rouge Mama? Is it easier to used compared to henna????? Your hair is so lush

 

[EmpressVirgo]

My hair loses its curl pattern very easily, probably because I have fine-medium strands. I wouldnt let my results scare you away from henna, and you probably would not want to leave it in as long as I did. I actually wanted to loosen up my hair a bit because it tangles horribly. I will update you to let you know if the loosening effect is permanent or not.

Thank you
I'm sorry! I'm at work now so I will give the short version.

I cowash 2-3x per week and I rock buns 90% of the time... I need to change that because it makes me feel plain at times.

The other 10% of the time I rock braidouts and occasionally flat iron.

The key for me is frequent washing and minimal manipulation. My strands are very sensitive- fine-medium and porous, but I have high density

Welcome aboard! I love your shrinkage and your hairs looks lush and soft!

Thank you!!

It's a henna bar from LUSH Cosmetics. Check out the site, its all natural and its easier since theres no measuring or guesswork. Only thing is that it's not finely milled and a bit of a pain to rinse out. I love it anyway.

My strands are very fine. My hair feels heavier after regular henna but it bounced back by the next wash. I'm interesting in knowing how this turns out. I also think Lush's henna is way too expensive for the amount of product vs going to the Indian grocer.
